Brandon Webb last appeared in a big league game on Opening Day in 2009 and has undergone a series of major shoulder procedures since. But the 32-year-old is still fighting — still trying to make it back.

According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, Webb is planning to throw for major league teams “sometime in March” in the hopes of landing a minor league contract and invitation to spring training.

The right-hander was struggling to hit 85 mph on the radar gun at last check and no longer possesses the effectiveness on his sinker that led him to the 2006 National League Cy Young Award (and second-place finishes in ’07 and ’08). But it’s feasible that he could land a camp invite if he displays good health and improved velocity in his March workout.
